ABSTRACT:
While a vehicle travels in a regular point, an absolute position of the vehicle is detected based on detection signals of a GPS sensor, a gyro sensor and a vehicle speed sensor. Then, a map matching process is performed such that the detected absolute position is corrected to be matched with a road map of map data. While the vehicle travels at a specific point, track position information of the vehicle based on the detected absolute position is stored independently of the map data. In particular, when the track position information regarding the specific point at which the vehicle is traveling at this point has been already stored, the information is sent to a light control unit, whereby the light control unit performs the optical axis control according to the traveling track indicated by the track position information.
